Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

But when he saw the blushing face of Kiyono Yuri, and the unprecedented softness and shyness in her eyes.

I knew I hadn't heard it wrong.

It's this woman...she really hasn't sobered up yet.

"Do you really have to make me say it a second time, you bastard... Ugh!!"

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Oreki Gen blocked her mouth.

She was stunned for a moment, but then a familiar feeling, a familiar breath, and even a familiar smell came.

She immediately melted into this ocean of tenderness.

How vast is such an ocean?

Fill the world.

How warm is this ocean...

It's like living on the equator, being exposed to the sun day after day.

never mind.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or false.

She felt that she only needed tonight, only this moment.

This is all he needs to fill his life, to fill the inevitable moments of emptiness after drinking.

People are still coming and going outside.

It seems like the enthusiastic atmosphere is welcoming the coming of the New Year.

And in this corner that seems to be forgotten in the hustle and bustle, warm flowers bloom and embrace tightly.

Open and beautiful.

Kiyono Yuri recalled many scenes, including the first time she saw this young man.

At that time, this young man said he was applying for a part-time job. No matter how good-looking he was, I only treated him as a younger brother.

How could I have imagined that this day would come?

But when this day really comes.

She was honest at heart, even pious.

Thank fate.

Thanks for meeting.

Chapter 119: The Dice Roller

Wine on a winter night always warms you up first, then cools you down.

Every night after drinking seems to be like this for Yuri Kiyono.

But tonight seemed a little different. When I returned to the crowded street, the boy next to me was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Yuri Kiyono admired the boy's ability to adjust.

It didn't seem that because of what happened just now, his attitude towards himself became extremely reckless.

It seemed as if he had deliberately left himself a step to calm down. He didn't get too close to her, but he also didn't seem too distant.

This kind of getting along makes people feel comfortable and at ease, just like old friends who have known each other for many years. There is no need to say anything special to create a good atmosphere, just walking together can create a unique atmosphere.

Looking at the busy streets.

Kiyono Yuri remembered something.

"Then don't come to work on New Year's Day."

Of course, Oreki Gen was planning to take a day off on that day, but he forgot about it because there were a lot of unexpected situations and they were also a bit "urgent".

I didn't expect Qingye Yuri to mention this matter on her own initiative.

Even though she would definitely give him a day off if he asked her, at least she showed an attitude, which made Oreki Gen couldn't help but smile.

“Why are capitalists so easy to talk to?”

Kiyono Yuri rolled her eyes at the boy.

"Is my small business considered a capitalist? You look down on the word capitalist."

Then he sighed softly.

"You're going to ask for leave that day anyway, so why don't you wait for me to say it yourself? I might as well just say it directly."

Oreki Gen looked at the other person with a smile.

"Then you can disagree with my request for leave."

Qingye Yuri retorted without even thinking.

"If I don't agree, won't you just resign and leave?"

"Are you so reluctant to part with me, Manager Qingye?"

The special and ambiguous name of Sister Qingye seemed to belong only to that dark alley. In the current hustle and bustle of traffic, everything seemed to be returning to normal.

But the woman still blushed quietly because of these words.

She glared at Oreki Gen.

"Now you're saying that again."

Of course, Oreki Gen knew the other party's subtext, so how could he bear to do that? That kind of thing just happened. What's more, that small convenience store carried most of their memories and was also the place where they could meet naturally and logically.

It will always be special in the heart of Kiyono Yuri.

But Oreki Gen still has to tell the other party.

"Maybe next year... Well, I probably won't work part-time at the convenience store. It's not because of anything else, but I might be too busy. Frequent leave would affect the convenience store's business."

Still said such words.

Although it may not seem appropriate at this time, it is better to say what needs to be said sooner rather than later.

Oreki Gen still had to prepare this woman mentally in advance.

As expected, when Qingye Yuri heard these words, her expression froze.

To be honest, of course she knew that this day would come. After all, this boy was a high school student full of hope and beauty. He couldn't work part-time in this small convenience store forever. He had many infinitely bright possibilities.

But...she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Isn't he just a sophomore in high school?

It seems that I can only understand it. After all, there are indeed more and more things around him, and he is getting busier and busier, so the frequency of asking for leave has become more and more frequent.

It was only a matter of time...but why couldn't it be later?

But there was no other way. It was impossible for Kiyono Yuri to stop all this by force. She was no longer the Kiyono Yuri who could do whatever she wanted in front of Oreki Gen.

Some small emotions are not intentional, they are really suppressed instinctively.

"Oh... I see. Actually, it's okay for you to just quit now."

Oreki Gen looked at the woman who was obviously saying one thing and thinking another.

"Are you in such a hurry to get me out? I still need the money."

"Humph, didn't you say you wanted to leave? Don't you see how many times you've asked for leave? I guess you didn't ask for much."

This is the truth. After all, Qingye Yuri is not a saint, so how could she not deduct her salary if she takes leave more and more frequently?

Oreki Gen didn't seem to care, because he wasn't really short of money. In fact, from the living expenses his parents sent him and his part-time job, he had saved a lot as long as he didn't spend it recklessly.

The expenses themselves are not that big, not to mention that I have changed my identity now and I am already a scumbag. A scumbag still uses my own? He is not a scumbag at all.

Of course, it's to happily eat free food.

Oreki Gen was all smiles.

"Isn't it just to stay a little longer? Doesn't the manager want to see me?"

Qingye Yuri's cheeks turned slightly red.

"You can come or not, who wants to see you every day..."

Having said this, he quickened his pace.

Oreki Gen smiled at the other person's back.

The peaceful and carefree days will always pass, and Oreki Gen now thinks that he has finally survived this year, which is cause for celebration.

The New Year is coming.

During this period, Oreki Gen didn't do much else and his life was normal and regular.

In addition to maintaining the normal routine of reporting all itineraries to Sakuraba Mizuki as usual, he even had time to work at a convenience store and then cook dinner for Asagiri Ran.

Apart from the lack of income, everything seemed to be going smoothly and orderly in peace.

Until this crucial day arrived.

Even when Oreki Genji woke up in the morning, he inexplicably felt that this day was of special significance, as if from the moment he opened his eyes and saw the first thing, something special had been confirmed.

Wake up from bed.

Oreki Gen stretched lazily.

When I opened the curtains, I saw bright sunlight outside, which seemed to indicate that today was a rare good day.

Indeed, for everyone, such a day is more or less special.

When I open my phone, all the inquiries I see are about this joyous day.

Before he even went out, it seemed as if that eager breath had come into his room from a distant place. Oreki Gen was brushing his teeth and washing up as usual.

He did not forget some of the things he had agreed to do today.

He knocked on the door next door early in the morning.

Soon, with the arrival of familiar footsteps, the door creaked and opened in front of him.

The appearance of this familiar woman is enough to bring about a good mood at the beginning of the day.

No, it should be said that beauty arises the moment you see each other.

Kikyo Rimi is dressed neatly.

The tight-fitting red long skirt looks dazzling without being old-fashioned. On the contrary, this "stepmother skirt" has an extraordinary charm on her.

Tempting and provocative, that kind of moist scent hits you in the face.

She had no makeup on, except for a bright red lipstick.

Maybe the eyelashes were brushed too.

In fact, Oreki Gen doesn’t think that makeup can make this already beautiful woman look much more beautiful, but it represents an attitude.

When a woman waits for you at home and is willing to put on makeup just for you, her intentions are very obvious.

These are the so-called details that many women usually pay attention to.

Oreki Gen would naturally not pretend to be blind at this time.

"Sister Kikyo is so beautiful."

Kikyo Satomi smiled and let Oreki Gen in, then she skillfully picked up the slippers prepared for Oreki Gen and placed them on the floor of the entrance.

"You're trying to coax me with something like that so early in the morning?"

Oreki Gen said with a smile.

"How can it be coaxing? It's the pure truth. If someone in my position doesn't praise you, then he is either blind or dumb."

"Pfft."

The woman laughed, then reached out and untied the other person's shoes.

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment and then spoke quickly.

"I can change my shoes myself..."
